Gas-guzzling sportscars to receive purchase tax up to £23K

This has made me livid......

Why does the UK Government feel the need to tax people even more? The road fund licence is already skewed to penalise 'thirsty' cars, which are already penalised becuase the bulk of fuel cost is tax, and the more fuel you buy the more you pay in tax. The only result is going to be Britain's luxury car industry losing sales - in turn making them volume uncompetitive and therefore shedding jobs.

But different levels of VED based on a fuel consumption rating system heavily penalises people who like to own a nice car but choose to use it sparingly.
That's simply not fair.
Shifting all taxes onto fuel would result in a true pay as you use system that is already administered.
The more you use, the more you will pay.
This new system will heavily impact the sales of Jaguar & Land Rover - hardly good for British business I think.
The government needs to focus on cutting spending and creatng jobs, not raising revenue and stifling industry.
